Restorative and Implant Dentistry

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial roots placed in the jaw to secure replacement teeth. This modern dental solution is ideal for patients who have good oral health and want to replace one or more missing teeth. Dr. Ragnell is a highly trained implant dentist with a wealth of experiencing in placing and restoring dental implants. He can perform your entire dental transformation in our Plano office.

Dental implants are an attractive alternative to other prosthetics and provide a completely natural look and feel. With proper care, they may last a lifetime. Dr. Ragnell places dental implants to restore one or many missing teeth. Due to his advanced training, he can replace as many as 12 to 14 teeth in the upper or lower jaw using as few as 5 implants. If your want to renew your incomplete smile or secure an upper or lower denture, dental implants may the right solution for you.

Dr. Ragnell performs exhaustive research to bring his patients the best of modern implant dentistry. He uses BioHorizons and Keystone/Lifecore dental implants because of their quality design, durability, and high success rate.

Advantages of Dental Implants
Because the quality of adjacent teeth is not sacrificed with dental implants, more of your natural teeth structure remains untouched, which benefits overall oral health. In addition, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They also deter bone loss. The success rate for implants is 95 to 98%.

Implant Options
Using advanced implant technology, Dr. Ragnell can:

• Replace a missing tooth with one implant topped with a dental crown
• Insert as few as five implants to replace several missing teeth and support up to a dozen or more
• Use implants to support bridges that replace all of your teeth
• Raise the sinus floor and augment with bone grafting to increase jawbone mass and prepare mouths to receive implants
• Eliminate deformities in the upper and lower jaw that deter implant placement

The Implant Process
Dr. Ragnell will assess your oral health and examine your mouth to assess your candidacy for implants. If you qualify, he’ll perform any necessary grafting or augmentation procedures, then surgically place your dental implants in the sockets left by missing teeth. He utilizes cone beam scanning and surgical guide fabrication to ensure precise placement. After your jawbone fuses with the posts, he’ll affix your custom replacement teeth to beautifully renew your smile.
